the mayor surveyed the first 5 people to arrive for a town meeting. is this a random sample of the residents of the town? yes no
Answer
Brief Explanations:
A random sample should give every member of the population an equal chance of being selected. The first 5 people to arrive at a town - meeting are not a randomly - selected group as they may have certain characteristics (e.g., being more punctual or more interested in the meeting) that are not representative of all town residents.
Answer:
no
